About

Nancy Kirkendall lives in the hills above Boulder, Colorado, near the mountain town of Nederland. She is a writer, painter, spiritual aspirant, and lover of nature. Her stories, poems, and paintings reflect her life adventures and spiritual insights into her relationship with family, friends and nature. Two themes dominate her life: her quest to realize her spiritual nature and her desire to express herself creatively.

In the spirit of Mark Twain, these stories tell the truth, mainly. The stories are from the memory and perspective of the author and invite the reader to contemplate their own life's journey.

Nancy's paintings emerge from her experience and interaction with the environment. She states, "I live in the mountains. I see shadows and light fall on mountaintops and reflect on roaring creeks and waterfalls. I watch as colors melt in the Colorado sky. My paintings are studies of nature's light, shadows, and reflections."
